Color: Stone Grey

Your dwarf hamster, mouse, or gerbil will have the layout mapped out and a corner claimed before you've finished setting it up. Critter Cubes are modular enclosure components sized for small species, built around the fact that these animals need more than floor space. They need structure to move through, dig into, and hide inside.

Each base holds deep bedding for burrowing, and the interchangeable tops let you build out feeding stations, sand baths, tunnels, and hides in whatever configuration fits your enclosure. The whole thing expands as your setup does.

  • Deep base lets your pet burrow and nest below the surface
  • Interchangeable tops let you configure a sand bath, hide, tunnel, or feeding station without buying a new piece
  • Modular connections mean you can expand or reconfigure without starting over
  • Comes in Essentials and Deluxe configurations depending on how much space you're working with

Bases, tops, and anchors also sold individually. Made from chew-safe PETG. Dishwasher safe. Designed and made in Minneapolis, MN.

Before you have to ask

The questions worth asking

Is PETG safe for my critter?

Yes. Every piece is printed in PETG, an inert plastic, using RoHS certified filament that is free from heavy metals. Edges and corners are rounded everywhere we can manage it, so nothing snags paws, tails, or your snake's skin.

What if my critter chews on it?

Chewing on a hide usually signals something else: your critter is stressed or short on proper chew options, not attracted to the plastic. We're a small and growing business, but we ask for feedback on every product and monitor this closely, and we've had no reported cases of critters chewing these. PETG also doesn't shatter into shards. It's semi-flexible and absorbs force, so it would take close to human-level bite strength to break a piece. If a piece does get chewed, retire it from the habitat for sanitary reasons, or keep it as a supervised-playtime piece if you prefer.

What happens if my critter swallows a piece?

Unlikely, but here's the honest answer: the filament is RoHS certified and free from heavy metals, and PETG is inert, so small pieces pass through the digestive system. If you're worried about a blockage, that's a veterinarian call, not a wait-and-see. A chewed product is best retired from the habitat.

Do I need Base Anchors?

We recommend them for every configuration. They stabilize the build and keep houses up above the substrate instead of sinking in. Hamsters need them most, since serious burrowers will excavate right under an unanchored base.

How do the pieces fit together?

Friction fit, no tools and no hardware. The tapered top of each piece seats into the base of the one above it, the same way building blocks lock together. Easy for you to assemble, genuinely hard for your critter to shift or knock apart once it's seated.

How do I clean it?

Scrub in warm soapy water with a dish scrubbing brush and rinse thoroughly, or run it through the dishwasher on medium heat. We design with rounded interior corners wherever possible so grime has fewer places to hide.

What about the layer lines I can see?

Layer lines are the nature of 3D printing, and our slow-cool printing method keeps them minimal. They don't affect safety or durability, and the two cleaning methods above keep them from holding dirt.

Will it fall apart or delaminate?

No. We print with a slow-cooling method that gives the plastic layers extra time to bond. These are made to be washed, stacked, and lived in.
